CVE-2017-1000101 (retired)

curl supports "globbing" of URLs, in which a user can pass a numericalrange to have the tool iterate over those numbers to do a sequence oftransfers. In the globbing function that parses the numerical range, therewas an omission that made curl read a byte beyond the end of the URL ifgiven a carefully crafted, or just wrongly written, URL. The URL is storedin a heap based buffer, so it could then be made to wrongly read somethingelse instead of crashing. An example of a URL that triggers the flaw wouldbe `http://ur%20[0-60000000000000000000`.
